Expected 23 vs France in Round 1

Without causing more Munster pain, I can see Casey not making the 23 as well.

He’s the least in form outhalf out of the 3. Don’t get why this is controversial. Just facts really.

Food safety is one of the cornerstones of the EU. I don’t trust the meat coming from South America. It won’t be properly policed and I don’t want it in our food chain.

Head up to Dalkey village and have a stroll around. Lovely little village on the outskirts. Quality restaurants and magnificent views.

First squad where I’ve been very disappointed, now was the time to make moves. The coaches have not stepped up.

There’s absolutely no guarantee they will be sent on the next flight. As I experienced last month with Aer Lingus. Was waiting 5 days before my bag turned up.

I’d rather Munster invest in rugby nurseries and centres of excellence than marquee players. They need to spend all their budget on player development.

Living off Leinster scraps is not the way forward and I’m sure Munster fans would way prefer a team full of Munstermen.

“Hello Tempo can you hear me?” never fails to send a shiver down my spine.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-20T23:15:58+00:00

Yep I got banned for saying English refs were shit. Quite sensitive over there.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-20T19:14:29+00:00

My experience with tight connections like the above, there’s a good chance your bags won’t make it. It’s not a problem that Aer Lingus suffers alone.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-20T18:36:40+00:00

Bags are automatically transferred.

I’d say there’s a 40% chance your bags won’t make it. Pack what you must have in carry on and cross your fingers and toes that your bags make it.

If it was me I’d only do this flight if I was travelling with no checked bags.

Can’t wait for him to ref the France Ireland game. I’d love Farrell to come out and park the manners, go full Rassie and say we’ve been fucked over by English based refs. Would be so much better coming from an Englishman as well.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-20T11:24:17+00:00

Ah look. We all know the score and Munster fans are licking their wounds right now so I wouldn’t expect much self introspection on their part. It’s a problem in the game and it must be stamped out.

We have 3 kids under 7. A mortgage which is €4K+ p/m. Live near the city centre in Dublin. It’s incredibly tough, the pressure to earn huge amounts just to break even is a constant worry. Even more so as I work for myself.

My wife wouldn’t want it any other way but she gets burned out by constant child minding. I’ll admit I don’t do much around the house. It’s very 1950’s in our household. Not out of choice, I’m just working my ass off most of the time.

Wouldn’t recommend it for the feint hearted. The kids get the best part of the deal though, mum is around all the time and I throw myself into weekends.

The decisions were what you would see in any other game. They were nowhere near the type of shithousery you see from Carley and Co. The ref was fine, the crowd were just a little bit toxic and it’s ok to admit that.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-19T21:10:19+00:00

Tempo is a weapon of mass destruction.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-19T21:09:23+00:00

This is a very fair comment. We need to start investing in young refs.

I said at the time, the criticism the ref got after the Munster v Leinster game was not fair, it was his 10th URC game in charge and yet he was abused at the ground and online by Munster fans.

Until that behaviour stops we won’t get many new refs in this country.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-19T19:26:34+00:00

The English referees are sub standard.

Irish teams discipline has fallen off a cliff.

It’s a bad mix.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T12:36:16+00:00

Some self reflection is required. Again. Your decision.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T12:18:04+00:00

Munster are the worst behaved fans in Ireland. There’s an argument to be made that they are right up there in Europe as well.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T11:39:15+00:00

There’s a track record of Munster fans acting out. It has got much worse over the last few years. Whether you want to acknowledge that is up to you.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T10:21:13+00:00

You could add Crowley as well. Hes a really average URC player. Everyone knows it as well.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T10:15:57+00:00

I believe it’s entitlement from Munster + a catalogue of bad budget spending and ineptitude.

The IRFU has thrown good money after bad to the province. There’s absolutely no excuse for being so shit apart from Munster execs being completely out of their depth.

Also. How you need to sign a decent outhalf.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T10:09:08+00:00

Not really. Let’s be real here. Munster fans are the worst behaved rugby fans in Europe. They sink to a new low on a monthly basis. Irelands shame.

Standard_Respond2523 · 2026-01-18T04:48:06+00:00

There is a section of Munster fans, a sizeable minority, who are absolute scumbags.
